Africa is the second most populated continent in the world?

With around 1.2 billion people, or estimated 15% of the world’s population, Africa is the second most populated continent in the world. There are 1250-3000 native languages. It contains 54fully recognizedsovereign states (countries) & hosts a large diversity of ethnicities, cultures and languages.

Obviously this chart is not counting the African descendants out side the continent.

Historical migration of human populations begins with the movement of Homo erectus out of Africa across Eurasia about a million years ago. Homo sapiens appear to have occupied all of Africa about 150,000 years ago, moved out of Africa 50,000 – 60,000 years ago, and had spread across Australia, Asia and Europe by 30,000 years BC. Migration to the Americas took place 20,000 to 15,000 years ago, and by 2,000 years ago, most of the Pacific Islands were colonized.

You wouldn’t believe it if you looked on the runway, at an ad campaign, or heck...anywhere, but people of color are buying more luxury goods than ever. Nielsen just released its consumer report on black Americans, and the market research firm's findings were, to say the very least, quite eye-opening. With black buying power expected to to reach $1.7 trillion by 2017, the report notes how increasingly important it's become for brands to market to black people.
